More about me: There are really FEW things that can scare me after the war for liberation of Croatia which happened while I was a mere kid(i was 4 when it began). I'm an excercise freak, I excercise for at least 2h a day. I have tons of nicknames, each describing my personality save for one. Everyone keeps telling me that 'I'm too lazy' isn't the reason enough for not having a gf, especially when they keep calling me out on dates, so I'm making up a new reason.

 

[MistressValerie1]

Duke: Boris Vallejo and his wife Julie Bell are my all-time favourite artists! I use one of their paintings as my avatar at a forum which allows larger images, and I have a nice folder of their beautiful fantasy artwork on my HD 🙂

 

[Merman]

17.5 hands? Gee, I have a horse your height.

😎

If I knew what I did the first time, sure. 😛

Just be glad I didn't put my stats in really obscure measurements. For instance:

Weight: 0.098214 tons (imperial)
Height: 17.5 hands
Age: 715,347,000 seconds (to nearest 1ks).

So just be glad that I didn't! 😎 :wooha: 😛

Yes, I noticed while going through your bio. Truly, a great artist!
I know a place where you can download all of Boris's pics from a web page:
valejo.ural.net (without www).

I think I have all of them, and I mostly like the fact that they're all soooo realistic.

Which one is your fav?

 

[MistressValerie1]

Thanks for the link, Duke 🙂 My fave is "Psylocke at Night", which I use as my avatar at OCMB.

 

[nessonite1]

Link didnt work for me 🙁

 

[Duke Diablo]

Lol, sorry, wrong link.
Correct one is: vallejo.ural.net

Nice choice, Val. Me, I really can't decide.

Also, there is one more artist that i like but i don't know his name because i got his pics from a friend. It seems that his last name is Jonathon(so my friend said). I made a screensaver from the guy's pics, which, followed by a good instrumental, can really be an eye candy.

I was giving examples of some of the more...uncommon measuring units. My actual bio was higher up the page, and I'm 5'10". 🙂

Wk, it's great to see another Oakland sports fan here. Not only am I an Oakland fan, I also play fantasy sports and have three teams currently active 🙂

Ignatz, it's wonderful to see another libertarian around here. You might enjoy the political quiz at http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz.html The Advocates is a conservative-libertarian organisation with some interesting perspectives.

Yea! Being 6'11'' is a gift AND a curse!

Being that tall makes travelling by vehicle extremely annoying buuuuuuuuut...I'm the first to know when it rains! 😀

Thanks for the link, Val. I've never actually voted Libertarian, believing it inexcusably quixotic to do so. Lately, I'm not so sure, especially since the Republicans now seem to be as enamored of Big Government as the Donkeys ever were.

 

[nessonite1]

Buddybob could you pleeeeaaaase make your siggy pic smaller? 😛
How many times a day do you get asked things like "Hey, how's the weather up there?"
I would smack many people 😛

When footbball rolls around again, you'll have to tell me what fantasy league you're in. 🙂

 

[Budweiserbob!]

Ness - I will get to work on de-biggafying my pic but just to let you know, if it isn't smaller by saturday then assume that I don't know how to do it.

Also about 4 people today said 'How's the weather up there dude!'

But then I just step on them! xD

Oh I'm a cruel gentle Giant! =P
